SportsCenter's Jemele Hill to join ESPN website 'The Undefeated'

SportsCenter at 6 anchor Jemele Hill is leaving the program for a new role at ESPN's The Undefeated, a website about the "intersections of race, sports and culture," reports CNN.

Why it matters: Hill came under fire in September for calling President Donald Trump a "white supremacist" on Twitter. She was later suspended by for a second violation of the company's social media policy, after more tweets about Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and black NFL players.
